Ideal hardware for live performance
At Sweetwater, we’re impressed with the number of performance-ready features Yamaha baked into the PSR-I610. For starters, powerful 12-watt stereo speakers deliver room-filling output. Next, the Mic Input lets you sing along and perform anywhere without a PA. Of course, the PSR-I610 includes dedicated stereo Output jacks, enabling you to connect to a PA when you need more power. You also get plenty of expressive features, such as Modulation and Pitch Bend wheels and a Portamento button. Additionally, the Foot Controller input allows you to elevate your performance using an expression pedal. Beyond that, the PSR-I610 includes a looper, which lets you record and play back phrases, layering notes as you go, to create engaging, multifaceted arrangements. You also get an Auto Chord Play function that plays specified chord progressions automatically, as well as a Quick Sampling feature, which is bolstered by four Sampling pads.
Onboard song lessons and more
The Yamaha PSR-I610 makes it quick and easy to learn how to play your favorite songs, step-by-step. The Lesson function works across a library of 75 Songs, including 35 Indian Raga, Geetam, Swara Jathi, and Korvai. You also get support for free apps, including Rec’n’Share, which allows you to record performances and upload them to social media, and MIDI Song to Style, which converts MIDI song files to auto-accompaniment Style data. Indian movies and music are becoming massively popular worldwide, so now’s the time to invest in an arranger keyboard that specializes in this exciting and exotic genre.
